The Crête du Grand Luberon ridge from Vaugines
This is one of my favourite hikes in the Grand Luberon, and you can easily vary the route along the summit. This hike takes you to the summit through several valleys, offering superb views in places. The descent on the oldGR®®9trail is just as interesting for its many views. (TheGR®®9route has now changed slightly.)

Starting from Saint-Pantaléon-de-Gordes, where you mustn't forget to visit the small Romanesque church with its rock necropolis, this is an easy little circular route that winds through the undergrowth and between traditional Provençal dry stone walls. Numerous drystone shelters line the route, some accessible, others on private property. Walkers can also discover the remains of an old Jas and, well hidden in an oak forest, the longest drystone shelter in Provence, which is in perfect condition.
A private path is available for the respectful use of hikers and cyclists, excluding all motor vehicles.
The app's GPS is highly recommended on this route.
Old Mérindol
In April 1545, nearly 3,000 Waldensians from Provence, who had converted to Protestantism, were hunted down and almost entirely exterminated on the orders of the Parliament of Aix-en-Provence. Mérindol was the first village targeted by this crusade against 24 villages in the Luberon, which were pillaged and burned. A memorial to the Waldensians of Provence has been erected on the site of the former fortified castle of Mérindol.If, like us, you don't immediately see any connection between Mérindol and Pic de la Mirandole, perhaps a little philosophical and purely personal reflection will help you make the link... or not!

A beautiful hike with magnificent views of the Durance valley.
